Blog Assignment on Pound's Poem: Due Jan. 15th

For Thursday, in addition to your reading and coming with responses to all the poems, here's your blog writing assignment. 300-400 words. Please spend half your writing (1-2 paragraphs) making a case that we can read Pound's poem as a pro-modernity poem--in favor of urbanization, technology, etc. Spend the other half making a case for the poem as an anti-modernity poem. Remember to use evidence from within the poem itself. Think about imagery, rhyme and/or other sonic qualities, the relationship between the two lines, and anything else you see in the poem. No need to research Pound as a person/poet for this.

Also, in the spirit of Pound's two-line structure, please post 2 pics and/or embed videos that you relate to the poem.
